life in war

On Monday morning as I was driving to work, I heard this story on NPR (Morning Edition). If I were you I would click the "listen" button from the the story link. I just think it's more effective when you hear his voice. I actually got tears in my eyes...but don't worry, most people won't. I just felt so sad about what this war has done to so many people and countries. It's a reporter's reflection on Iraq right after the invasion....compared to now. Give it a listen.



Tonight is the Bob Dylan concert. Did I mention SEVENTH ROW?? :-) I haven't even blogged about last week's events yet...good grief, I'm behind!!!!!!

row seven

Helen and I will be going to see Bob Dylan on October 24. The coolest part?

ROW SEVEN

woo hoo

check it out.....

only 40 days until......

BOB

Hopefully I'll get some good tickets. Kinda strange...it will be almost exactly 3 years since the first time I saw him, in the same location. Not only that, in 2004 I saw the Drive-By Truckers a few days prior to Bob....this year I will see DBT less than a week before Bob (on my birthday). Cool.

Coming soon: Kidney Update

Bob

I went to the Sugar Maple Traditional Music Festival in Madison this past weekend. I camped. It was fun. It stormed. I bought two CDs. I have great stories. I will post about that later...I haven't even had a chance to look at my pix yet...but here are some pix from Jeff.

This weekend I am going to see Gillian Welch...also for a later post.

I really want to bid on this....but for now the following picture just makes me happy so I had to share it....


I need to see Bob this calendar year....I wonder if I can make that happen somehow?
